thank you for being here.
My name is Mikaela Simon,
and I’m the artist behind Doodlealldayy.
Doodlealldayy was established in 2017, when I was looking for a way to avoid doing my homework. Starting as a platform for me to share my art with friends and family, it grew into a shop and virtual gallery of sorts, with an Etsy page and a reach far beyond my wildest dreams. I spent four years vending at hundreds of markets all over the tri-state area. And boy was it exhausting!
In 2024, I began to shift from vending to teaching. While I still take commissions and show my work occasionally, my main focus now is the facilitation of art in the community. Partnering with libraries and community organizations, I have had the opportunity to teach artists of all ages how to trust themselves and build an artistic process.
Although my mediums and priorities have changed throughout the years, I have never lost sight of the thing that is most important to me—to create without fear.
I hope you enjoy perusing my work as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it. Please reach out with any projects you think would be up my alley. I’m ready for the challenge!
